Payment under the 2012 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme has not yet issued as, at this stage, the holding concerned has not yet satisfied the Scheme minimum stocking density requirements for 2012. Immediately the holding concerned is confirmed as having met these requirements, the case will be further processed with a view to payment at the earliest possible date thereafter.

The person named commenced REPS 4 in May 2008 and received payments for the first four years of their contract.

REPS 4 is a measure under the current 2007-13 Rural Development Programme and is subject to EU Regulations which require detailed administrative checks on all applications to be completed before any payments can issue. This process has been completed in this case and the 75% Year 5 payment amounting to €7286.22 has been issued for payment on 10th December 2012. The remaining 25% balancing payment will issue shortly .

In order to comply with EU requirements, the application of the person named was one of a number selected for inspection. The inspection and related processes have been finalised and payments under both schemes will shortly issue to the nominated bank account.
